| `consul.system.licenseExpiration` | Number of hours until the Consul Enterprise license will expire. | hours | gauge |
**Why they're important:**
This measurement indicates how many hours are left before the Consul Enterprise license expires. When the license expires some
Consul Enterprise features will cease to work. An example of this is that after expiration, it is no longer possible to create
or modify resources in non-default namespaces or to manage namespace definitions themselves even though reads of namespaced
resources will still work.
**What to look for:**
This metric should be monitored to ensure that the license doesn't expire to prevent degradation of functionality.
